“… I want to work. It’s hard for human nature
to make a real confession of all that we’ve done.
The Danube, which is our past, our present and our future,
has pulled us in, tenderly, as its swift waters run.
From the blood of our fathers shed in former wars,
flows peace, a common memory and mutual regard,
a promise of order, a tolerant way to live.
This is our task. It will be hard.”
(fragment of Attila József’s At the Danube)

The concerts would always be preceded by an Initiatory lecture.

These initiatory lectures would be made by pianist and music teacher Gábor Eckhardt who enriches them by playbacks, slideshow and various musical delicacies.
